(Female pattern thinning hair)
Androgenetic Alopecia is linked to hormonal imbalances with an over-production of Dihydrotestoterone (DHT) around the hair follicle, eventually slowing down hair production to a point where it goes into a hibernation-like state. This usually occurs throughout the front, top and crown areas of the scalp, it may even affect regions on the side of the head.
Thinning hair, sometimes known as diffuse hair loss (telogen effluvium) can be caused by a number of factors, including:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Stress (emotional and physical)
- Anxiety disorders such as trichotillomania
- Child Birth
- Chemotherapy
- Genetics
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Certain medications
Most women do not go bald or lose their front hairline, but it may result in significant thinning hair, with the hairs becoming progressively finer in texture, more difficult to style and eventually it becomes impossible to grow hair to the length they once had. If you begin to see small patches of baldness, it is most likely Alopecia Areata.
